London Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London

London Museum

We had an hour to spend in the London Museum. The museum has been redone since last year. We had to have a quick look at all the exhibits to deal only with the history of London. I did get a picture of the Lord Mayor's Coach which is rolled out and used each time a new mayor is put in office.

St. Paul's Cathedral

The boys, along with the younger British faculty, climbed the steps to the Whispering Chapel and the St. Paul's Cathedral Dome (600+ step.)

We had our picnic in the garden beside St. Paul's before we boarded the coaches for the Tower of London.

Tower Bridge

We were lucky to get to the Tower Bridge just as it was opening. This happens only about twice a week.

Tower of London

The boys thought the Crown Jewels were "awesome." They also discovered an exhibit of jewelled guns that fascinated them. The ice cream made with clotted cream was a big hit. Jack and Jack made a new friend at the Tower of London.b Notice "Dandy" Jack H in a new hat.
